Wow, that is scary, especially with Christmas on ground and schools resuming first week in January.
Do you know the office it came from? Don't use that service for now. It is expensive and it requires you to have IELTS results ready. Except you have your IELTS, it is not helpful to your case. Write them through web form and ask that it be processed as regular, except you have all the requirements for that new program.
When I got the email “we need something from you to process your application” I was a little scared and excited, thinking it was probably medical request only to receive this NSE email. Nevertheless, I found a little comfort after reading Omafor’s comment which says it’s a positive sign. I won’t be using this NSE route and I’m still contemplating if I should raise a webform telling them or not (need advice please ). Hands crossed now hoping for the best.
Send a webform to let them know you don’t have enough time for IELTS and as such would prefer regular processing.
What I foresee is that this NSE program will die a natural death, because it is proving unpopular among Nigerians. They are not introducing it to Nigerians appropriately. It should be an application platform where you choose that option, rather than introducing it 4 weeks after you submit an application and are waiting for a decision from IRCC and instead of a decision, they impose a 30-day deadline on you. They will soon stop the nonsense.
So what is the regular route to apply for a study permit? Is it applying online through the CIC account or paper application?
It does not matter how you apply, the visa officer will make the decision based on your documents and strong SOP. With online, it can be very confusing as it does not ask to upload educational documents, SOP, any affidavit, sponsorship letters, etc. You have to merge all of the documents in one single file and upload it under "Client Info". Also, the size allowed for each file is only 4 MB so you have to compress the files.
Hello Omofar,
Thanks for all your good works.
I'm currently an undergraduate student in a Nigerian uni, due to all this strikes happening, I decided to drop this current bsc, and start to process a different post-secondary 2-year diploma, in which my high school results and transcripts is only required (not even IELTS because I'm from Nigeria) but the problem is I will have a 4 year gap since I'll be using my O'levels.
1. will it be a problem when applying for a study visa because what I sense is I'll have to explain in my sop why there's a 4 year gap, which may result in presenting my current uni transcript.
2. Also I hear changing my academic history, which I'll be doing will reduce my chance of approval.
3. Might I add, there's more than enough funds from my parents for sponsorship.
4. Will I still be required to present an IELTS result since I haven't finished a bsc program?
Thank you.

You don't need IELTS to gain admission but if you intend using the NSE when applying for visa, you will have to write IELT.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone. I pray this year brings more hope and joy than the last one.
As I told you guys, IRCC recently sent me an NSE letter and I have all my documents ready but I have a few problems:
1. My medicals are not yet done and although IRCC didn't ask me for it in the NSE letter, I have learnt that it is necessary for the NSE process. Should I do an upfront medical or still wait for the go-ahead from them to do medical??
2. Additionally, I was told to present a bank statement with all my funds that has a 12 MONTH BANKING HISTORY but my sponsor's savings acc has only been open for about 11 months and I don't know if I can use that. The deadline for submission will have passed before the account is 12 months old.
Any advice would be well appreciated. Hope everyone has a lovely new month and year. Can't wait to see all the great things we will all accomplish this year.

NSE Is just a process to fast track your visa processing, it’s not mandatory for you to do it and it doesn’t mean you won’t get the visa through regular channel if you meet up with their requirements.
Just go ahead and do the upfront medical. Whether NSE or normal route, you'll still have to do the medical. So why wait?
As for the second question, I think (I only think) you should go ahead and use the bank statement of the 11-month-old account for the application. If you haven't got IRCC's decision by the time the account turns 12 months old, then ask the bank for updated statement of account and forward it to IRCC.
